Sea turns Sweet
Well, I have seen whole lot of miracles, one of the rarest things you see a lot in India. I had seen when I was around in class 1st or 3rd, how the idols of Ganapathi had started drinking milk, then I remember one that happened while I was in Baroda(Gujarat), all the Shivlings(small cylindrical idols related to Lord Shiva-for those who don’t about it) having ‘OHM’(the sign of course) on its head section. Now, get yourselves ready for the latest miracle. Water of sea which is usually salty has turned sweet. Sweet refers to normal drinking water. Its on a beach in Mahim(Mumbai). People have started to go to the place and are drinking the water. I wouldn’t have posted anything about it If the beaches of India were as well-maintained as those of many other countries and to tell the beaches of India(almost all of them) are in terrible conditions. Garbage overflows in these beaches and people who are drinking the water seems to have no problem with it. These beaches have high content of chloride and many other minerals which are not good for the body when taken in high proportions. Well, Indians never listen to any warnings anyway. This incident has been related to ‘God’s Miracle’, I can’t say anything on people’s sentiments though I must say it’s unhealthy to drink the water. There are many scientific theories for this phenomenon, some of them are yucky, some of them are logical and some are just….. So I will tell the three most talked about reasons in the news.
- This is a very rational and logical reason- A river which flows into the sea has supposed been overflowing making a small area of the sweet water in the sea. But the criticism of this theory is that the water near the mouth of the river where it flows into the sea is not sweet.
- This reason seems to be more scientific but still makes sense and is not a very pleasing one as the earlier one. Some scientists say it might be that the amount of sewage water going into the sea might have increased and created such a phenomenon. After hearing this I am not even going to meet anyone who has drunk that water.
- Well for the third reason its the God’s Miracle reason. Many believe it to be God’s work to tell us that he is still there. It has been for years Indians are always the superstitious lot.
Now for all those who have really drunk that water God save them from any disease. I only hope that only if we weren’t such superstitious sort of people. We will have to wait and see what the scientists say after tasting..oops I mean testing the water.

Yeah I wouldnt drink straight of the sea man, I guess you’d catch something. I probably can see why you’d like refuse to speak to those that have drunk the sea stuff. I guess when they open their mouths to speak the smell of sewer is kind of heavy on the nose. If what you say is true about the filthy murky waters on the shores of Indian beaches then I wouldnt take a sip without it being tested.
After all its not the water of some well or some mountain spring water. Nay its sewege from heavy populated area’s of Mumbai and there is nothing sweet in sewers apart from an accidental spillage of concentrated sugary stuff from some local factory and I dunno what I’m going on about here.
So to drink or not to drink, yep, that remains the question.
And is it sweet? well lets see what the scientist have to say about it all. Was it really sweet or was it sweet and maybe sour?
Happy sipping folks, I hope you dont end up with tummy bugs and s*it to wait for it.

Well it’s because of a fresh water reserve of ground water that’s mixed with the sea water.
